22. Dallas Mavericks (9-9)
Last week: 23
The Dallas Mavericks have won six of their last seven games, and continue to be led by the impressive player of rookie Luka Doncic. Assuming he continues to play at this pace, he will almost definitely run away with the NBA’s Rookie of the Year award.
I don’t think it’s fair to expect this team to make a playoff run this year, but the fact that they’ve been this competitive through the first month of the season should give this franchise some hope that they could turn things around sooner rather than later.
Expect the Mavs to have their ups and downs this season, but they’ve definitely started off on the right foot this season.
